Guide to Professional Advising

Mission Statement

Professional Advising exists to help students build ownership and critical thinking skills as they work to achieve their spiritual, academic, and professional goals.

Freshmen and Sophomores

Professional Advisors offer personalized advising for residential freshmen, sophomores, first semester transfer students, students in academic difficulty, Club Sports and NCAA student athletes. (NCAA seniors are encouraged to meet with faculty in their respective major.)

All Professional Advisors assist students based on their declared major and are located in academic areas. View Professional Advisors to see their locations and submit an appointment request online.

All Undecided majors must meet with a Career Counselor in order to get their Advising Hold removed prior to being able to register for classes for the following semester. Undecided majors submit a Career Center appointment request online.

If you have an Advising Hold, schedule an appointment to meet with your Professional Advisor and register for classes.

Juniors and Seniors

Juniors and seniors who are not in academic difficulty or a NCAA student athlete receive academic advising and mentoring from faculty in the student's respective major. (NCAA seniors are encouraged to meet with faculty in their respective major.)

Staying on Track

Junior Year

If you're planning on completing an internship, attend an Internship Meeting. Pay close attention to dates and deadlines and plan an internship for the fall, spring, or summer of your junior or senior year.
